Note: In the following instructions, names of the control
buttons are shown in CAPS. Function information that
appears on the display is shown in BOLD CAPS.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Replace battery when LCD becomes dim.
The display ashes fast when the batteries need
to be replaced.
1. Power off the unit before installing the batteries.
A malfunction may occur if the power is on
when the battery is installed. If a malfunction
occurs, press the RESET button in the battery
compartment or restart the device.
2. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screws on the back by turning them counter
clockwise.
Note: Be careful to use a properly-sized screwdriver as a
screwdriver too large will strip the screwtops.
3. Remove the cover completely.
4. Install two 1.5V AAA batteries observing polarity
shown in compartment.
5. Replace the battery cover.
Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES
MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN THE
GROOVE.
6. Fasten the screws on the back by turning them
clockwise, being careful not to over-turn.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. On/Off
1. Flip down the probe to turn the thermometer on.
2. The TCTW572 will automatically turn off after
10 minutes of inactivity.
3. Flip the probe back into the case to turn the
thermometer off and conserve battery life.
CAUTION: Probe may be HOT after use. Always wear a heat
resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
B. Temperature Scale
To select temperature reading in Fahrenheit or
Celsius:
1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screws on the back by turning them counter
clockwise.
Note: Be careful to use a properly-sized screwdriver as a
screwdriver too large will strip the screwtops.
2. Remove the cover completely.

3. Press the °F/°C button inside the battery
compartment to change the scale.
4. The °F or °C symbol changes on the display.
5. Replace the battery cover.
Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES
MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN THE
GROOVE.
6. Fasten the screws on the back by turning them
clockwise, being careful not to over-turn.
C. LCD Backlight
The backlight will turn on automatically for
3 seconds when the TCTW572 is on.
D. Temperature Measurement
Important: THE PROBE MAY BE DAMAGED IF MEASUREMENT
TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN -58°F/-50°C OR HIGHER
THAN +572°F/+300°C.
Note: The TCTW572 is intended for food service use — do not
use for safety related applications.
1. Flip down the probe until fully extended.
2. Insert the probe at least 0.25"/6.3 mm into the
food.
3. The current cooking temperature appears on the
display.
4. Wearing a heat resistant glove, ip the probe
back into the case when nished.
Important: DO NOT TWIST THE PROBE OR ROTATE IT IN
WRONG DIRECTION. EXCEPTIONAL STRESS ON PROBE
MAY CAUSE IT TO BREAK.
CAUTION: Probe may be HOT after use. Always wear a heat
resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
E. Display Rotation
The orientation of LCD display follows that of the
TCTW572.
F. Field Calibration
1. Fill a 1 cup measuring container with a slurry
of ice water using 3 parts crushed ice to
1 part water.
Note: It is very difcult to get a 32°F/0°C ice water
temperature. It will probably be closer to 34°F/1°C.
2. Allow to stand for 3-5 minutes.
3. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screws on the back by turning them counter
clockwise.
Note: Be careful to use a properly-sized screwdriver as a
screwdriver too large will strip the screwtops.
4. Remove the cover completely.
5. Immerse the probe into the middle of the ice
slurry to a depth of at least 2 inches. Do not let
the stem touch the bottom of container.
6. Press the CAL button inside the battery
compartment. C0 appears on the display for
3 seconds and then shows current temperature.
7. Press the CAL button again to calibrate to
32.0°F/0°C.
8. CAL appears on the display for 5 seconds and
then returns to the current temperature.
Note: To avoid accidental recalibration, this function only
works when the water temperature is 30 to 34°F/-1 to +1°C.
Err will appear for 2 seconds if the water is not within this
range and then return to the temperature display mode.
9. Replace the battery cover.
Important: THE WATER RESISTANT FEATURE REQUIRES
MAINTAINING THE RUBBER GASKET EVENLY WITHIN THE
GROOVE.
10. Fasten the screws on the back by turning them
clockwise, being careful not to over-turn.
G. Battery Status
1. The display ashes when the voltage on the
batteries is low.
2. “--” ashes on the display when the batteries
need to be replaced.
H. Reset
Press the RESET button in the battery
compartment to reset the thermometer to factory
defaults.
Important: DO NOT LEAVE THERMOMETER CASE IN
HOT OVEN. CASE IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. HAND
WASH AND DRY.
Note: Remove label from display before initial use.
Clean the thermometer probe before each use.
Note for Induction Cooktops: Sometimes, the induction
cooktop magnetic eld may interfere with digital
thermometers. If there is interference, briey turn off the
induction cooktop to get a digital thermometer reading or
use a dial thermometer.
Tip: Meat should be allowed to “rest” for 10 to 15 minutes
after it is removed from oven. This allows time for the
meat’s internal temperature to stabilize and the juices to
redistribute. This will result in a roast that is both juicier and
easier to carve.
